April 1, 2019.
Groundbreaking scheduled:
175. Yigo Guam Temple: Preparing Yigo chapel for demolition; groundbreaking
scheduled for Saturday May 4, 2019; completion estimated sometime during
early-to-mid 2021.
176. Praia Cabo Verde Temple: Preparing for groundbreaking, which is
scheduled for Saturday May 4, 2019; completion estimated sometime during
early-to-mid-2021.
177. San Juan Puerto Rico Temple: Demolition of the Trujillo Alto Ward chapel
underway; groundbreaking scheduled for Saturday May 4, 2019; completion
estimated sometime during early-to-mid
2021.
178. Quito
Ecuador Temple: Official rendering released; preparing for groundbreaking,
which is scheduled for Saturday May 11,
2019; completion estimated sometime during mid-2021.
179. Lima Peru
Los Olivos Temple: Official rendering released; existing institute building and
meetinghouse closed on January 27, 2019 in preparation for demolition;
groundbreaking scheduled for Saturday
June 8, 2019; completion estimated sometime during mid-2022.
Groundbreaking
anticipated:
180. Saratoga
Springs Utah Temple: Government approval phase; awaiting official site
confirmation and release of artist’s rendering; groundbreaking could occur in mid-2019.
181. Brasilia
Brazil Temple: Planning and approval phase; property fence installed around
temple site; groundbreaking could
occur in mid-2019.
182. Greater
Manila Philippines Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting official name
announcement; groundbreaking could occur in mid-2019.
183. Richmond
Virginia Temple: Preliminary plans submitted to local government;
groundbreaking could occur in mid-to-late
2019.
Note:
On March 27, 2019, new information on this temple indicated that plans had been
submitted, but also the location where the plans will be utilized, which appears
to be the location held in reserve for that prospect around 3-4 years before
the temple was announced. If the First Presidency confirms this information, it
is not hard to believe that a groundbreaking could be held at around the time
indicated.
184. Nairobi
Kenya Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting official site confirmation;
groundbreaking could occur in mid-to-late
2019.
Note:
The Church of Jesus Christ Temples site noted in mid-February 2019 that a site
had been procured for this temple. But during President Nelson’s visit to
Nairobi in April 2018, a public affairs representative had noted that this
temple would be smaller, and that a dedication for it was anticipated to occur
sometime in 2021. So it seems reasonable to assume that a groundbreaking could
occur within the next 12 months, but hopefully sooner, if all goes well.
185. Harare
Zimbabwe Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting official site
announcement; President Nelson visited potential site on April 17, 2018;
groundbreaking anticipated in late 2019.
Note:
Although the site visited by President Nelson in April 2018 has not been
confirmed as the official location for the temple, Elder Andersen, in a
November meeting with Zimbabwe’s Vice President, noted that the Church hoped to
break ground for that temple in the late months of 2019. So I have no doubt
that will be able to occur.
186. Salta
Argentina Temple: Planning and approval phase; groundbreaking could occur in late 2019.
Note:
The site has already been confirmed for this temple.
187. Mendoza Argentina Temple: Planning and approval phase; groundbreaking
could occur in late 2019-early 2020.
Note: The site has already been confirmed for this
temple.
188. Puebla
Mexico Temple: Planning and approval phase; awaiting official site
announcement; groundbreaking could occur in early
2020.
Note:
A Church member living in Mexico reports that the area presidency is scouting
that city for temple locations, and that construction could begin in the early
months of 2020.

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.
At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.
I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.
And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.
Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
